Planning Your Marriage

PLANNING YOUR MARRIAGE

AT

SAINT AGNES PARISH

Dear Friends:

Congratulations on your engagement and decision to be married in the Catholic Church.

You want your wedding day to be beautiful and pleasing in all of its arrangements. So do we! This brochure has been prepared to help make that possible. It contains rules and guidelines. They may seem cumbersome at first, but they exist not only to help make the wedding ceremony run smoothly, but also to recognize the fact that your wedding belongs to more people than just the two of you.

Your wedding is a family event, one that gives hope for life and love from generation to generation and that brings your families together.

Your wedding is a faith event. God should be the third Person in your marriage. So, the Church has some expectations about your wedding celebration.

These guidelines are intended to help all who gather for your wedding, both family and friends to celebrate well.
